Hearing loss, autosomal recessive 116(DFNB116)

MedGen UID:
1726617
•Concept ID:
C5436789
•
Disease or Syndrome
Synonym: Deafness, autosomal recessive 116
 
Gene (location): CLDN9 (16p13.3)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0033670
OMIM®: 619093

Definition

Autosomal recessive deafness-116 (DFNB116) is characterized by slowly progressive moderate to profound sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), with a steeply sloping audiogram in the high frequencies in younger patients (Sineni et al., 2019). [from OMIM]

Clinical features

From HPO
Sensorineural hearing loss disorder
MedGen UID:
9164
•Concept ID:
C0018784
•
Disease or Syndrome
A type of hearing impairment in one or both ears related to an abnormal functionality of the cochlear nerve.

Positive Romberg sign
MedGen UID:
66017
•Concept ID:
C0240914
•
Finding
The patient stands with the feet placed together and balance and is asked to close his or her eyes. A loss of balance upon eye closure is a positive Romberg sign and is interpreted as indicating a deficit in proprioception.

•Concept ID:
C0557874
•
Finding
A delay in the achievement of motor or mental milestones in the domains of development of a child, including motor skills, speech and language, cognitive skills, and social and emotional skills. This term should only be used to describe children younger than five years of age.
